Webster: Terrors hungry for success
Andy Webster is aiming to end his Dundee United career on the ultimate high after his header helped secure a Scottish Cup final place.[LNB] The on-loan Rangers defender guided Craig Conway's corner home in the 58th minute to seal a 2-0 Hampden victory against Raith Rovers.[LNB]The afternoon continued Webster's rejuvenation following more than three seasons of frustration, which included a long and pioneering legal battle over his move from Hearts to Wigan and a succession of injuries.[LNB]After a short spell at Wigan, Webster only made one appearance for Rangers amid a continued run of fitness problems which restricted him to 10 first-team appearances in three years, half of them coming during a loan spell at Bristol City.[LNB]But his form for United this season saw him return to the Scotland team last month and his swansong for the club before returning to Ibrox now looks set to be the cup final against Ross County on May 15.[LNB]Webster said: "It's been nice just getting the opportunity to play football again in a very good side and a lot of good players.[LNB]"When you train with them and play with them you realise they are a good team that can have success. The boys are hungry for success and that has shown recently.[LNB]"Any major final is a great showcase for any player."[LNB]Webster's long run of misfortune began four years ago when he was frozen out at Hearts after indicating he would not sign a new contract, the impasse meaning he missed out on their 2006 Scottish Cup final win over Gretna.[LNB]But Webster is not looking at this year's final as a chance to heal any old wounds.[LNB]"You take it as it comes and deal with it and get on with it," the 27-year-old said. "It's not something I'm going to start digging up and worrying about. I'm looking to the future and doing well here.[LNB]"That's in the past, it's great for the boys and the coaching staff and the club as a whole to have an opportunity to win the Scottish Cup."[LNB]United started the match nervously as Raith threatened to emulate Ross's shock win over Celtic, but United took control after David Goodwillie's 28th-minute opener.[LNB]"I think it definitely gave Raith a boost, they have seen a First Division club beating a Premier League club, and one the size of Celtic are and the quality of players they have," added Webster.[LNB]"I'm sure that would have been mentioned to them beforehand.[LNB]"We just had to focus on our job and go about our business the way we normally do.[LNB]"Getting the first goal probably settled us down and we started passing the ball after weathering the initial storm."
